Since a Capricorn full moon occurs when the transiting Sun is in the opposite sign of Cancer, the natural polarity of the zodiac signs shines a spotlight on the need for a work-life balance, which is a theme that you may be wrestling with as summer beckons you to take time off time but multiple work projects insist that you postpone it.
Whether it is actually about taking time off from work or something else, the odds are that will find yourself pondering (or even struggling with) a way to bring a greater sense of balance into your life.
No matter what type of situation you're facing, it's tough to resolve it because while the Cancer Sun wants you to nurture yourself and nourish your soul, you're feeling the pressure of the Capricorn Moon that insists you need you to suck it up and answer the call of duty.
Fortunately, you can count on Mars (action) in Virgo to save the day by sending a beam of discernment and healing (Virgo) to the Capricorn Moon on an energetic frequency that is so compatible with its nature that it easily absorbs it.
Once the message is received, the hard-nosed Capricorn Moon not only recognizes the therapeutic value of self-care, but it becomes open to the idea of compromise and is willing to try a little tenderness.
The key to striking the right balance is to make sufficient room in your schedule for leisure by integrating efficient (Virgo) actions (Mars) into your work and daily routine that free up your time.
Since full moon energy is in effect for 5 days after the full moon occurs, it's always possible that an event will happen afterwards. However, this is more likely to be the case if the event involves letting go of something or someone, because once the full moon occurs, the energy releases and the moon begins to wane (grow smaller). That's why the time after the full moon is a period of release.
Since full moons coincide with conclusions, where you are likely to experience something coming to fruition or to an ending in your life?
Look to life areas ruled by the house in your horoscope that holds the full moon. If you don't know exactly where 18°50' Capricorn falls in your horoscope, use the list below to find out where the full moon falls in your horoscope according to your Rising sign.
If you don't know your Rising sign, then refer to the list below according to your solar (Sun-sign based) horoscope.
As always, it's important to keep in mind that this transit will affect you more (or less) depending upon the aspects (if any) it makes to your personal horoscope.
If your Rising Sign (or Sun Sign if you don't know your Rising Sign) is:
Aries, it’s in your 10th house of career and public reputation. This puts a spotlight on your professional and personal status and suggests that this full moon may coincide with news of a promotion, honor or award or if appropriate, your retirement. Although not common, in extreme it could coincide with a public scandal or dismissal. It may also coincide with a change in your personal status, such as becoming a spouse, parent, grandparent or homeowner. Since the 10th house rules authority figures, a tense situation with a boss, parent or other authority figure could come to a head in a very public manner.
Taurus, it’s in your 9th house of higher knowledge, which could coincide with a decision about your religion, college plans, political party, philosophy or belief system. On a different note, this is the house of long journeys, so you could be returning from a far off location or deciding on your next destination. Since legal ceremonies fall in the 9th house, this full moon could coincide with tying the knot or participating in a swearing-in ceremony. Lastly, since they also live in the 9th house, there may be a spotlight on grandchildren.
Gemini, it’s in your 8th house of intimacy and trust, which suggests that an existing relationship could go to a much deeper level or if there has been a betrayal, it will come to an end. This is also the house of other people’s resources, so if you are waiting on news related to a mortgage, loans, tax matter, inheritance, maintenance, child support, government benefits, bankruptcy or a legal settlement, it is likely to come at this time. On another note, this full moon could shed light on someone else’s motives.
Cancer, it’s in your 7th house of relationships, which suggests a major development in an important personal or professional alliance, such as a deeper commitment or a parting of ways. Another possibility is that this full moon will illuminate boundary issues or other negative patterns in your relationships that need to be resolved to ensure future happiness. On a separate note, if you have been involved in an ongoing conflict, this full moon may coincide with a lawsuit or a settlement.
Leo, it’s in your 6th house of employment. If you’re waiting on a hiring decision, this full moon is likely to deliver it. Alternatively, if a current job hasn’t been going well, you may decide it is time to look for a new one, and in extreme cases, it may be decided for you. Since this house also rules health and daily routines, you may become aware of an issue at this time, which may involve nutrition and fitness levels. Lastly, this house includes pets, which suggests a you may make a pet-related decision at this time.
Virgo, it’s in your 5th house, so if you have had your eye on someone special, this full moon could take you from flirting to actively dating. Since this is the house of creative self-expression, you may receive recognition for a creative project or bring one to a conclusion. This house also rules children, so there could be news of a birth, and if you’re a parent, you may be making a child-rearing decision at this time. As the house of joy, this full moon may reveal new ways to have fun, as well as whether you’re having too much or too little of it.
Libra, it’s in your 4th house of home and family, which means if there has been tension in your household, this is the time it may come to a head. If so, the good news is that the air will be cleared, paving the way for a happy resolution. It’s also possible that a parent will need your attention at this time. In terms of home, this full moon could bring a redecorating, landscaping or home improvement project to its completion. If you are involved in a real estate transaction, a decision connected to a rental application or home sale is likely to come at this time.
Scorpio, it's in your 3rd house of communications, short trips and local area, which means you could conclude a negotiation, wrap up a writing project, return home from a short trip or hear some news about neighborhood, such as zoning changes or road work. Since this house rules ground transportation, contracts and warranties, you could seal a deal for a new vehicle or alternatively, a problem may come to light with a current one. Lastly, this house rules your side-by-side relationships, which brings in the possibility of a big announcement from a sibling, cousin or neighbor.
Sagittarius, it's in your 2nd house of money, so if you are waiting to hear news about a raise (in your pay and/or expenses), it’s likely to arrive at this time. Finalizing a budget is another possibility, and if you have been making payments for a past purchase on a payment plan, this could be the month you make your final payment. On a separate note, since this house is about personal values, this full moon could illuminate your priorities in life, as well as show you how you really feel about yourself.
Capricorn, it’s in your 1st house of the Self, which suggests that you may make an important life decision that will have lasting consequences connected to your personal development. For example, you may decide to make a deeper commitment to a relationship or choose to end one, or you may decide to make a major change in your living situation, finances or career. Since this house includes your body, this full moon could coincide with the conclusion of a physical matter, such the completion of dental work or attaining your perfect weight.
Aquarius, it’s in your 12th house of hidden information, which means that you may experience an intuitive download, gain access to confidential information or experience a psychological breakthrough. If you have been experiencing guilt or a tendency for addictive or self-sabotaging behavior, this full moon could shed light on why you do so that you can release it. Since this is also an artistic, spiritual and compassionate house, this full moon could bring a creative talent, intuitive gift or healing ability to light.
Pisces, it’s in your 11th house of hopes and dreams, which suggests there is a strong possibility that something near and dear to your heart will come to fruition at this time. Since this house is also about humanitarian interests and group relationships, you may decide to get involved in a cause that is meaningful to you. If you have an application pending for membership in a group, a decision is likely to come at this time. On an unrelated note, if you are active on social media, this full moon could coincide with a milestone event such as going viral or reaching a certain number of followers.
Releasing with the Capricorn Full Moon
If you plan to do a full moon ritual for releasing something from your life, be sure to do it after the full moon has occurred at 4:37 PM EDT (remember to adjust for your time zone). If you do it before the full moon occurs, the moon will still be waxing (growing) and you will be trying to release something during a powerful time of attraction.
Personally, I like to wait a few days until I see the Moon start to disappear a bit.
Now, you can release anything under any full moon, but when it's in Capricorn it is especially favorable for releasing negative beliefs related to authority figures, including and parents, ambition, achievement and your personal and/or professional status.
It's also a favorable time to release unwanted traits or behaviors such as pessimism, melancholy, loneliness, fear, depression, rejection, inhibition, greed, materialism, callousness, social climbing.
